Taylor's POV
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJMfTnkIZG
Jacob eyes me the second I walk out into our large patio. The sun is beating down now and Jay is putting the parasol up. Rachel is lounging next to Jacob her legs draped over him.

"Lemon cake is for after" I smile, looking at Ross.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sgh5Wsl3s
"That looks" he begins.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabDia0RTTE
"Incredible, I want cake now" he laughs.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z5Kv0iTn0
I smile and head over to Jay helping him to plate up all of the meat. I've placed the salads on the table already. Rachel is picking at the fries.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3edOzCUaM
"I got this, take a seat" he whispers kissing me and rubbing my back. I smile and take a seat next to Matty. I can't explain it, he still makes me feel safe.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjtg13pv5f
I think I had a very mild panic attack earlier, and I feel embarrassed by it. Matty eyes me, and I smile at him. It's a thank you, for helping me to stop crying. For rationalising everything and making me feel secure.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4anZPFLh1
Jay sits at the head of the table. I smirk at him and he chuckles handing me a burger. He looks good at the head of the table. It suits him.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujLwKWrTpe
"Congratulations" Jacob says to Jay more than me. And it's an odd moment.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3It0aUkPaR
"Thanks Jacob" Jay replies.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9uZq96OtO
"How are you feeling Tay" he says to me, and he means generally in pregnancy.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX6rC93bnR
"I'm feeling great actually" I say tucking into my food.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8V33Vykts
"I had no idea" he says.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1rIqWhAWa
"Yes we wanted to keep it that way until we were sure everything was okay" I mutter.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKjKlxA9R0
"It will be fine" Matty says and Jay eyes him.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3WnlXqv4q
"How far along are you" Jacob asks casually.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RyGSRNmzA
"We're just over twelve weeks" I say softly.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7CmZyN4Z4
"Wow" he replies. Rachel is unaware of the tension. Ross is watching me.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tiqkymKyq
Thankfully he's quiet for the rest of the meal and we leave it at that. Jay, I have decided has a way with BBQ's and the food tastes amazing. After everybody has stuffed themselves with food, I cut the cake into slices.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi92aPQgb0x
"It should be pretty lemony so if you hate lemon don't have any" I laugh.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkhAfXXJgz
I take a piece for Jay and go and sit on his lap. He chuckles his hand resting on my hips. I feed him the cake and he smiles at me.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K5vdz6ajs
"It's amazing Taylor" he whispers.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRxkbyg4S9
"Good" I smile looking at him.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6zWtsfWPB
I remain in his lap watching everybody else drink and laugh with each other, after a few hours the sun begins to set. The automatic lights come on and I snuggle into Jay's chest. Rach is on Jacob and I watch him for a bit. He's talking to Ross about something obnoxious and pretentious. I can tell because Ross is trying to be nice, as always.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Wa3LqZqkQ
"I can't believe we have to go to uni tomorrow" Rachel sighs.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx5aM6zRCq
"Yeah and we've got practice" Jacob says.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuZX7JkoqW
"We sure have" I say, dryly.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYI28vdr0pD
"Oh can I come and watch" Rachel says clapping her hands. Nate is out of the picture, I'm guessing.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNpK0JWzBs
I couldn't think of a better idea. It will stop Jacob from asking me questions.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUCy3NKruw
"Of course" I smile widely.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4FsLah6HT
"Would be nice for somebody to watch, maybe you can tell us what looks good" I say, I am all for this idea.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus4aeM9aJs
"Yes" Rachel smiles back at me.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNtAAYehgd
I turn to look at Jay sure that he will be wearing his normal smile. Instead seeing a confused expression on his face. One which alarms me. My heart pounds again, it's another episode I'm sure of it.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFinYYpTJxG
"Jay" I say softly.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaiR9dYygj
He looks at me, still confused.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphJT9XeAPM
"Are you okay" I say and everybody has gone silent.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf2fKYkAJ5
"What's up" Rachel says but I block her out.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3oh9bKRFY
I stroke his arm. It hasn't been long since the bottle to the head incident. But this is the second time he'a experienced a mental block like this. I stroke his face.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pyxfbvHTp
"We ugh" he says softly.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0F3q1FJEJ
And then it’s as if he snaps out of it.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn6GIx1WZh
"It happened again" I say to him, concern on my face.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqx6dA9dds
"No Taylor" he says softly. He is looking at me begging me not to make a deal out of this.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90z63Nc4D8
"Dude what's up" Ross says concerned.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB2JOUg6JC
Jay sighs slightly.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyag2zSPsk
"Nothing is up; I'm just recovering still from the bottle injury and sometimes" he says and he's denying the seriousness of this.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5rtxeBcJw
"Jay we have to get this seen too" I tell him. My hormones rage and I am stubborn pregnant Taylor.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsydB3U2u52
"Taylor Gilbert Scott, I know exactly who I am, my oldest memories and everything, I'm not getting amnesia or some rubbish" he chuckles lightly.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEWoslu2m0
"Man, if there's something though it's worth it" Matty says on my side instantly.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4F4ReG1Fx
"It's probably just too much drinking last night" Jay says.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7Lh6azT3z
"Yeah he's fine" Rachel says and I almost throw a plate at her. She begins to move on and I curse myself for having a self absorbed friend.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZkPOhLOi3
"And you're a doctor are you" I snap and she flinches looking from Jacob to me. Yes he’s hot, hotter than Nate. But I’m dying for her to see the bigger picture, she barely knows Jacob.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY9AJfsfjy
"Sorry hormones" I say instantly.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2qP3EYlT6
"I'll call Forester, tomorrow" I tell him. Stroking Jay’s face.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2aUc70sg9
"Even just to rest my own mind" I say before he interrupts me.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnCSdudM6D
I take the plates in and load the dishwasher. Worrying about him. Thinking the worst and realising this could be an ongoing problem. It was just one accident, just a blow to the head once. Surely, this isn't something that will define his whole life. Something so hideously inconvenient.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS606kE9kY
"Taylor" Jacob says.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUASQCpgUQR
"Mhmm" I say breaking from my thoughts momentarily.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOhv8FEOmw
"I just wanted to say that this doesn't affect a damn thing" he says.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3enmpfX4x
"What's doesn't" I snap at him.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwAUt2tRta
"You being with child" he says, formally.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCzGyXA3dt
"I literally have no words" I say exasperated.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6GiJhm12R
"What!? I thought that's why you didn't tell me" he says defensively.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDXDfdM7nD
“Dancing and choreographing are totally different, you’re a choreographer” he goes on, not hearing me and explaining my own craft to me.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAw2WkFTWT
“You don’t have to dance to see the performance” he adds and I look at him exasperated, feeling extremely hormonal.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV6rJ6UDIk
"Not everything is about you and what you think dick face" I say somewhat harshly, stubbornly. And I cry, he's hit a spot. Tension has boiled up and this is the result; me crying uncontrollably in my kitchen.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8TjRX3MdJ
“Okay” he says awkwardly. He approaches me warily.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjDP3y2a51
“So help me God I do not want to slap you Jacob” I say as he goes to touch me, a simple hug.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUlwtmrM8T
“I’m sorry” he says and I just stare at him. I am a wreck this evening.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM67N72MBc3
“I’m sorry too” I say somewhat subdued suddenly.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMV5RSon9q
“I’m just wow hormonal. And I was worrying about Jay and yeah I’m sorry” I say.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKgepy3zMQ
“I am sorry too, I always say the wrong thing” he says looking down at me. Maintaining his eye contact, I bizarrely remember his face in between my legs last night eyes looking up at me full of lust. I look away quickly.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡng0KA7VWhk
“He’s very lucky” he whispers and I can feel him staring. Shamelessly staring at my boobs.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LQqtvcvVJ
“Are you even single” I say and I’m back to catty Taylor.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30J80qvqax
“What” he says surprised.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhTHc5RZN4
“Well Rachel isn’t” I say and I take a step back.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3PSUEcj7v
“Rachel this is about Rachel” he smirks. He takes a step closer.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRWZs3dGi7
“No it’s not” I say defensively
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIkg0wVaZ3
“If you don’t advocate me going after her, then why invite her to rehearsal” he says.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQUCi5IeZt
“Because…” I say and I curse him.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXcSOxS9lJ
“Because you don’t want to be alone with me” he says and his grin annoys me.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAGvJndTIR
“Because you’re an obnoxious ass” I add.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoABAxgbfH
“No because you do not want to think about it” he says and I know what he means instantly. His mouth on me.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKI00AIuKx
“Oh get a grip” I say and I turn and finish loading the dishwasher.
He goes to sit on a stool and pours himself another drink. He watches me do my tasks in the kitchen, cleaning up, placing left overs in the fridge. Totally boring mundane things that he seems to find fascinating. He smiles at me every now and then, and in my head I want to yell at him to go away. But stubborn me doesn’t want to prove him right, it would be like admitting that I don’t want to be alone with him. I won’t give him that so here we are at an impasse. I’m ignoring him and he’s paying me lots of attention.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtjDLko2Mb
I place everything in the fridge, after wrapping them in foil and cling film. I pull the cake tin down and open it up for the rest of my lemon cake.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBsgkNJHYE
“None of us can drive” Rachel comes in staggering and I look up. He does not.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziY7yy0vfB
“Nope” I say. Looks like we’re having another sleepover.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR6skmA2AO
“Jacob” she says.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQhefzsdKg
“Mhmmm” he replies. He looks at her staggering up to him and steadies her when she reaches him. I roll my eyes.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQY0IKSdqs
He watches me.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkZbLKHs6J
“Taylor is it okay if we use your spare room, again” he asks grinning.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21ina6ytbG
“It’s fine” I say pressing the button on the dishwasher and it roars to life.
